Mode O'Day

Mode O'Day is an underground comics character created by Josh and Drew Friedman, debuting in Last Gasp's irreverent anthology Weirdo alongside alternative comics luminaries like Robert Crumb and Peter Bagge.

Born in the pages of Weirdo #9 in 1983, Mode O'Day is a creation of Josh and Drew Friedman — a character who emerged right in the thick of the underground comix scene that Last Gasp helped define. Appearing across the Bronze Age run of Weirdo, she keeps extraordinary company, sharing those irreverent pages with the likes of Robert Crumb, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, and Peter Bagge — a who's-who of alternative comics royalty. With only five catalog appearances, Mode O'Day is a genuine deep-cut discovery, the kind of find that reminds you why flipping through underground anthologies is always worth your time.
